Background and Motivations:

This Special Issue on Digitalization and entrepreneurship in economics is closely linked to the Conference on “Innovation, knowledge and digitalisation: building trust to face today´s challenges” (June 2023, Madrid), where the Special Issue Guest Editor Team will run a track on this topic.

Papers accepted for and presented at the Conference will be eligible for publication in the Special Issue. Please note, however, that the selection and review of articles will be carried out initially by the Conference Advisory Committee. Papers whose theoretical framework and method do not meet the standards of quality and rigor required by the participating journals will not be accepted for presentation at the Conference. Papers that pass the first review stage will then be reviewed by the Academy Editorial Advisory Board, and decisions will be taken by the Guest Editors of the associated journals. Papers should be highly relevant and should closely fit the participating journals’ scope and research focus. After the Conference, the Guest Editors of each journal will decide which papers will be recommended for inclusion in the Special Issues of the corresponding publications. Depending on the quality of submissions, the best papers will be published in the Special Issues of these SSCI journals. The Conference is unique in this respect. Papers should be submitted to the Conference via the Conference website (https://www.aciek-academy.com)

The influence of digital technologies on the nature and form of innovation as collective action becomes increasingly significant as the boundaries of innovation become blurred (Nambisan et al., 2017). The rapid growth of the digital economy has triggered a relevant number of business changes (Sun et al., 2022). Hence, technologies have changed the way we work and interact, leading to innovations in different areas.

Moreover, companies can positively change their results by introducing different innovative activities as a competitive advantage (León-Gómez et al., 2022). Thereby, digital disruption has influenced the process of digital transformation (Nyagadza, 2022), which has driven changes in economic and social models. Consumer behaviour has also been affected by the digital revolution (Verhoef et al., 2021). There is thus a growing interest in understanding the role of technological innovation in business sustainability and how new technologies have influenced economic and social models. These new concerns should also address the barriers and challenges that need to be overcome for an adequate integration of technological innovations in society and economy. Therefore, research with large volumes of information that also considers new paradigms and the different elements capable of driving digital innovation in companies becomes relevant.
